WEBVTT 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.280 We're here at Montex Booth at Computex 2024 where they have sponsored a video 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:09.360 where we're going to look at a whole whack of cases that they have that look really quite nice 00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:14.680 and also are all very reasonably priced. This one right here is the HS01 Mini 00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:18.560 and as you can see, it is quite a pretty little guy. 00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:23.600 Now this right here, it is not real leather. You don't really wanna screw around with that 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.760 if you're shipping to a whole bunch of different countries. 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.240 Moisture can be annoying and you didn't have to kill animals for it. 00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:34.660 So that's a plus. But what we have here is a 32 liter case 00:00:34.660 --> 00:00:40.520 that has up to ATX support. Now we aren't able to fit in ATX 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.520 with the fans on the bottom, but we can come in here. 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:50.160 This is a prototype. They all seem a little bit concerned about me just taking it apart right now, but it's fine. 00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:55.960 But the layout is really smart. So right now it is set up for an MATX build 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.720 and that is what it's designed for. But you can take out these fans on the bottom 00:00:59.720 --> 00:01:03.160 and fit in a full ATX motherboard if you so choose. 00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:06.440 And you also have support for a 360 millimeter radiator 00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:09.980 up at the top and we have our power supply at the front. 00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:13.760 Now this set up here is good for like a 4080, 4070, 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:18.560 something like that. But if you have a big boy 49 you are going to run into the power supply. 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.440 Fortunately though, if you take out this fan and want only a 240 millimeter radiator, 00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:29.000 you can move the whole power supply up, which will give you enough clearance for a GPU 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.120 to just go all the way across this guy. 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.640 So you can have an insane amount of power 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:39.500 in something that is just this big. That's just so pretty. 00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:43.480 Coming around to the back, we can see that we have back to front support 00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:48.600 like every good case in 2024. And we also have fans on the side 00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:53.020 and the cable management, it's gonna be a little bit of a struggle 00:01:53.020 --> 00:01:58.400 but you'll be able to figure it out. Especially when you find this thing is just $96 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:03.080 and that includes four pre-installed fans, three in the bottom and one in the back. 00:02:03.080 --> 00:02:06.080 Heck yeah. But if you're not looking for a small case, 00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:09.280 here we have the HS01, not many. 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.540 It's just the HS01 and it is really neat. 00:02:12.540 --> 00:02:16.080 Now the main thing that they have done here is played around once again 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.200 with where the power supply goes. So if you look, it's actually up here right at the top 00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:26.040 and what allows them to do is sink down fans into the bottom, 00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:29.200 which helps a little bit with performance and a lot of bit with, 00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:32.280 it's just looking kind of cool and really unique. 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.240 And moving over here to the fully built system, it's just a really unique look. 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.920 One thing that's fun is that if you look, this RGB strip that's along the bottom 00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:46.000 is actually connected with Pogo pins. So you can just take it off, works great. 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.720 The pins are right there, put it back on, boom. 00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:56.040 Your RGB works again. One thing that's also cool is if you look on the front, 00:02:56.040 --> 00:02:59.840 these fans have two options of where exactly they go. 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.600 Right now they're centered, which looks good for just looking good sake, 00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:08.720 but you can remove these two screws up here and move it to the left, 00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:15.960 which gives you a tiny bit more performance, sacrificing just not being quite in the middle. 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.120 Looking in the back, we can see this great big fan and RGB hub, 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:24.280 which does come included. And also you can see just how strange 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.620 the power supply is right there, but it does allow pretty easily cable management. 00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:33.000 And of course we do have back to front support here as well. 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:37.940 One thing that was a little bit of oversight on this prototype is that right now, 00:03:37.940 --> 00:03:41.600 you cannot access the power button on the power supply, 00:03:41.600 --> 00:03:45.720 but in the future, and when this is actually available, there will be a nice big hole here. 00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:50.520 So you can plug it, unplug it, and just hit that button if you want. 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:55.000 Moving back around to the front, one of the things that is fun 00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.920 is that they have a really streamlined look, where you have all of your like junky connectors 00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:04.320 and stuff down here, if your motherboard wasn't back to front, 00:04:04.320 --> 00:04:08.240 and they have just this nice little panel right here, which just covers that up, 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:13.240 so you don't need to see those cables. You can get the HSO-1 in either black or silver, 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:18.760 they're the same price, and it comes with five RGB fans for just $99. 00:04:18.760 --> 00:04:21.960 Not too bad. But maybe you have a little bit more money, 00:04:21.960 --> 00:04:26.760 specifically $20 more money, and you want to spend that on curved glass. 00:04:26.760 --> 00:04:32.600 Look at this. I cannot believe what they're able to get curved glass into a case that has that kind of a price tag, 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.800 because I know a lot of manufacturers have talked about 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.960 just how heckin' expensive it can be. They said that they're able to heat up the glass 00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:45.640 and do the curving, and the process is still a little bit difficult. 00:04:45.640 --> 00:04:50.560 About 80% of them are fine, but 20% of them just kind of explode 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.440 while they're making them. But the good news is, once they are made and installed, 00:04:54.440 --> 00:04:58.720 none of them have exploded afterwards, so you don't have to worry about that at all. 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.200 What's also really cool here is that below the curved glass, 00:05:02.200 --> 00:05:07.160 they have two 80 millimeter fans that they say deliver about a one to two degree 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.240 drop in temperatures on your GPU. 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:15.640 Because you don't want to be a saggy boy, they do include a GPU bracket from the factory, 00:05:15.640 --> 00:05:19.080 and also five fans, so the two 80 millimeters right here, 00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:23.120 two 140s on the side, and a 140 on the back. 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.480 Moving around to the back, you can see that we have back to front support once again, 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.960 and you will be getting a controller, but more like the one that we saw before, 00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:36.920 not this one specifically. If you're willing to sacrifice that nice curved glass 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:42.700 for a little bit of performance though, we have the Sky 3 performance right here. 00:05:42.700 --> 00:05:45.700 It's a prototype, so probably it's a good idea. 00:05:45.700 --> 00:05:50.780 It's a prototype, all right, I'll leave it. With this guy, you get three 140 millimeter fans 00:05:50.780 --> 00:05:55.820 in the front, a 120 in the back, and that same GPU saggy thing, 00:05:55.820 --> 00:06:01.860 and also a little bit of maybe walnut right here. They're not 100% sure what type of wood this is going to be, 00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:07.280 because you need to pick a type of wood that's going to be fine, and Asia where it's hot and humid, 00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:11.040 and Europe and Canada where it's really cold and not humid, 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.420 and also import laws and equipment, they'll figure it out. 00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:21.200 Well, it's a bit harder to figure out though, is how they managed to make the King 65 Pro be so inexpensive. 00:06:21.880 --> 00:06:25.520 This is apparently the cheapest dual chamber case 00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:30.840 coming in at $89. Not bad, let's have a look in here. 00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:34.480 As you can see, tempered glass on two sides, 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:41.060 very, very nice, and there we go. Your power supply has its own little area to do its thing. 00:06:41.060 --> 00:06:44.060 We have some fans that are intaking through there, 00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:48.860 so all of your other stuff can stay nice and cool. Unfortunately, there is no back to front support 00:06:48.860 --> 00:06:54.220 in this guy here, but there is support for hard drives if you still have those for some reason. 00:06:54.220 --> 00:06:59.940 In here, if you are to buy it, you will get 240 millimeter fans on the side, 00:06:59.940 --> 00:07:04.620 and a 120 at the back for that $89 price tag, 00:07:04.620 --> 00:07:10.740 which is pretty heckin' good. Also looks like we have room for a 360 rat up there, 00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:13.860 360 down here, very nice. 00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:18.140 For those of you that want to spend very little on your computer case though, 00:07:18.140 --> 00:07:21.980 and more on your components, we have the XR series. 00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:29.140 This one right here with the two glass panels comes in at $64, very nice, and even nicer, 00:07:29.140 --> 00:07:33.180 the one with mesh on the front comes with 4120s, 00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:36.700 and the not mesh version glass panel comes with 3, 00:07:36.700 --> 00:07:40.140 which is why the mesh one costs a little bit more, 00:07:40.140 --> 00:07:43.500 and it's pretty bog standard in the back. 00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:48.860 Once again, we don't have any back to front support just to save on those tooling costs, 00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:53.020 but realistically, at this kind of a price point, you're probably not buying one of those 00:07:53.020 --> 00:07:57.220 extra fancy motherboards anyway. Also these are available right now. 00:07:58.620 --> 00:08:02.620 Maybe you do want to spend a bunch of your money though, which is where their flagship case, 00:08:02.620 --> 00:08:06.020 the King 95 Mega Pro comes in, 00:08:06.020 --> 00:08:13.700 and the party trick of this guy right here is that these three fans can move out 30 degrees. 00:08:13.860 --> 00:08:19.060 That apparently can drop GPU temps by up to five degrees Celsius, 00:08:19.060 --> 00:08:24.260 which is really impressive, or if you don't want to do that, then just go right back there, very easy. 00:08:24.260 --> 00:08:28.380 This thing comes with a massive seven fans pre-installed, 00:08:28.380 --> 00:08:32.060 so we have six inverted fans here blowing that way, 00:08:32.060 --> 00:08:36.620 and up and in, and one down at back, meaning you're going to have no trouble cooling 00:08:36.620 --> 00:08:41.020 even EAT exports, which you can fit in here with an included bracket. 00:08:41.020 --> 00:08:46.820 Of course, around the back, we have back to front support, and this thing is $200. 00:08:46.820 --> 00:08:50.700 Now that you have your case though, you need to be able to cool your CPU, 00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:53.820 I would highly recommend that, and a good way to do that 00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:56.900 is using the Hyperflow ARGB 360. 00:08:56.900 --> 00:09:00.100 This thing right here is 27 millimeters thick, 00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:03.500 has a pump down in there, and a $96 price tag, 00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:08.140 which is pretty heckin' good for a 360 millimeter radiator. 00:09:08.140 --> 00:09:13.020 Now, this being, you know, you haven't had a Montec AIO in your computer before, 00:09:13.020 --> 00:09:17.860 so maybe you're a little bit concerned about the reliability, and they were concerned you would be concerned as well, 00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:21.140 which is why it has a six year warranty with it. 00:09:21.140 --> 00:09:27.820 And of course, if this guy's a little bit too expensive, you can spend $85 for the 240 millimeter version, 00:09:27.820 --> 00:09:33.100 which is probably good for most CPUs. And speaking of excellent warranties, 00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:37.940 we have their Titan PLA power supplies. These guys right here are made by CSonic, 00:09:37.940 --> 00:09:43.220 and come with a 10 year warranty, because CSonic's very good at making power supplies. 00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:47.740 We love those guys. And we really love that Montec sponsored this video. 00:09:47.740 --> 00:09:50.820 Huge thanks for watching this video.
